Joseph Dung Viet Dau

I always strive to learn and cultivate new things that help me improve myself. I always know how to listen, share, empathize, and adapt to every environment I am given and present in. I am always ready to accompany and be accompanied by others. A heart of gratitude for all I have received helps me live with love, share, and be fully present with those around me. When listened to and shared, my limitations and shortcomings will help me become more complete and live well with the gift that God has given me. Collaborating, supporting, and connecting with my brothers, colleagues, and others will help me build a better, more practical, and dynamic life.

I am a seminarian under the sponsorship and guidance of the Bishop of the Diocese of Salina. I hope to serve and dedicate myself to the missionary field in the Diocese of Salina, Kansas. I aspire and desire to become a small part of the missionary field of the Diocese of Salina to serve God and the Church.

Some achievements I have attained and cultivated for myself:

• I graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Hue.
• Completed 3 years of Philosophy at the Society of Jesus.
• Acquired leadership and teamwork skills.
• Participated in a course on developing spiritual accompaniment skills.
• Joined and collaborated in groups and clubs that I am passionate about: volunteer students, the Blood Donation Club, youth training, etc."

My interests and concerns: I enjoy nature and the beauty of the natural world, appreciating the majestic beauty of God's creation. I still set aside time to seek and explore the beauty of nature. I am fond of reading books and discovering new and interesting things from what I read and refer to. I also love sports and play several sports to improve and maintain my physical health.
Beyond my hobbies, I care deeply about the poor, the abandoned, and those who suffer. I see in them the image of Jesus, present and loving. Young people need guidance and help developing the skills to build and strengthen their faith. Additionally, I am concerned for those who have not yet received the Good News or had the opportunity to encounter it. As a calling, I feel invited to dedicate myself to spreading the Gospel.
